Chapter 1033: Cultivation Plans

Zhang Lie asked, “How well does Yun Bing handle things?”

Zhang Hanxiang nodded fervently.

While she was the princess of the kingdom of Limit in the second realm, Yun Bing had been prime minister. She had taken care of everything, and Zhang Hanxiang’s role was purely ornamental.

Despite the fact that she was a princess of Limit and Zhang Lie’s only family member, and thus should have been a queenly existence, Zhang Hanxiang’s personality and experience made her ill-suited to managing a kingdom. If she were responsible for its administration, she would have made a mess.

Furthermore, she didn’t have any desire to manage the kingdom, either. Yun Bing had been the one who did everything from behind the scenes.

While Zhang Hanxiang was still in the kingdom of Limit, Yun Bing had resolved all the problems that had popped up, allowing her to remain a happy princess unfettered by politics.

Zhang Hanxiang wasn’t a fool. She knew how hard Yun Bing had worked to prevent her from being trapped in any ploys.

After all, Zhang Hanxiang was the only princess of Limit, the only royalty of Limit, and many people wanted to make use of her identity to cause trouble. These people included both aliens and hunters of the Milky Way.

No matter how strong the members of Team Zenith were, they couldn’t ferret out all the rats that remained in hiding. It was Yun Bing who dug them out one by one, then twisted their necks, never afraid to dirty her hands.

She was an impeccable politician and administrator, a universal handyman.

Zhang Lie said, “Calling her a handyman is a form of praise! Don’t you understand? If you tell Yun Bing that I called her a handyman and she refuses to be a handyman anymore, no, refuses to help us anymore, what would we do?”

Zhang Hanxiang visibly hesitated then.

Zhang Lie continued, “If there’s a kingdom of Limit again in the future, or even a world of Limit, would you be willing to become its administrator?”

Zhang Hanxiang made a zipping motion with her mouth, implying that she wouldn’t reveal a single word.

Sun Mengmeng laughed. “Hanxiang, there’s no need to worry. Yun Bing likes what she does.”

Zhang Hanxiang asked curiously, “She likes being a handyman?”

Sun Mengmeng folded her arms. “For one, Zhang Lie is Yun Bing’s idol, and she’s been following him since the very beginning. For another, Yun Bing knows she’s skilled in this area, and she’s able to maintain her status and obtain rare resources thanks to her abilities. Because she’s comparatively weak at fighting, this is the best path forward for her.”

Zhou Ying nodded. “Yun Bing has always been happy about the fact that her actions can change the entire world.”

That was the true reason she enjoyed her work, not because she liked being a handyman.

Zhang Hanxiang considered this thoughtfully. “Doing work to obtain resources… hold on, are you sure she isn’t just an employee?”

Yang Ze joked, “Even our employees are the best of the best.”

The draconian sage interrupted their conversation. “Back to business, which of the candidates do you think is best?”

“Chu Feng, I suppose. There’s no one more reliable than he is.”

The draconian sage nodded. “Very well. I’ll pick someone from among the draconians as well, and we’ll have Chu Feng and the draconian supervise this territory and each other. I don’t think there’ll be a problem then.”

Zhang Lie nodded. “I’ll leave this to you, then.”

He waved at the members of Team Zenith. “It’s time for us to head out!”

Sun Mengmeng rushed over. “What are we doing, Captain? What are you treating us to?”

“The meat of a monarch-grade lifeform.”

“What?!” The members of Team Zenith were astounded.

“Monarch-grade?!”

“You mean, above disaster-grade?”

Zhang Lie explained, “Thanks to the genetic lifeform farm that has been set up, we’ve managed to cultivate lifeforms beyond disaster-grade. The evolution of the draconian world also brought many benefits to the lifeforms in the region, and one of the disaster-grade lifeforms evolved directly into monarch-grade. It’s very large.”

Generally, a disaster-grade lifeform that evolved into monarch-grade would shrink rather than grow, and there would only be enough meat for one or two people to consume.

Zhang Lie added, “It’s large enough that all of us can eat our fill.”

Sun Xiaowu cried out, “Captain, you’ve finally succeeded in cultivating a monarch-grade lifeform?”

Sun Mengmeng scowled at her brother. “Have you forgotten that the gold mantis that’s always by Zhang Lie’s side is a monarch-grade lifeform?”

Sun Xiaowu replied in excitement, “But that’s a unique case, Sis! If we’re able to mass-produce monarch-grade lifeforms at will…”

It would change the entire development of the Milky Way. Zhang Lie, who controlled the spread of these monarch-grade lifeforms, would be able to have the galaxy at his fingertips.

This was why the members of Team Zenith were always the strongest hunters.

There were countless hunters in the Milky Way, with all sorts of unique racial abilities and affinities. There were plenty who were more talented than the members of Team Zenith, and humanity was little more than a speck of dust in comparison. Humanity certainly didn’t possess enough resources to compare favorably to the four prime races of the Milky Way.

Zhang Lie’s appearance meant that humanity was considered a rising star, but it was still difficult to compare it to the four prime races, who had been gathering and stockpiling resources for centuries on end.

So why was it that the humans, the six members of Team Zenith, were able to dominate the hunters of the Milky Way to such an extent?

In the second realm, the members of Team Zenith had been stronger than the members of the four prime races. In the third realm, the members of Team Zenith had crushed the members of the four prime races. What explained that discrepancy?

They had made ample use of limit-breaking potions, and their accumulation of gene fragments had allowed them to advance as disaster-grade lifeforms through the second realm.

Why was it that the members of Team Zenith were able to evolve as disaster-grade lifeforms the moment information about disaster-grade lifeforms was released? It was all because Zhang Lie had set up a disaster-grade farm.

Many hunters had flitted with the idea of setting up a farm for such lifeforms, and many of the stronger races in the Milky Way had even tried it.

Some had succeeded, but much more had failed. The stronger these lifeforms became, the harder they would be to control.

Even with a huge investment of resources, these farms were barely successful—and unlike Zhang Lie, they wouldn’t be able to directly cultivate disaster-grade lifeforms.

Those successful farms were at most able to handle regular- and mutated-grade lifeforms. Superior-grade lifeforms were already too difficult to control, even if they had been cultivated since birth.

There were far too many regular- and mutated-grade lifeforms easily available in the various realms, and these farms weren’t worth the resources invested into them.

In the end, everyone who tried to farm gene fragments gave up, and this was why the other races failed where Zhang Lie had succeeded…
